I'm using a USB cable with an AC adapter (plugged directly to the wall) to charge my Nuvi. I charged it overnight but there is no indication that the charging is over. Does the Nuvi stops charging when it gets full? Does it have a protection for overcharging?

it should stop charging when the battery gets full... a "Battery Charge Complete" should be displayed.

I keep the charging cable connected in my vehicle and my Nuvi powers up and down with the switch of the ignition key (ACC and ON). I do occasionally (once every 1-2 months) remove the power from the back of my Nuvi. I let it use battery power until I get the low battery warning. I do this for two reasons:
1. To know if the battery can still hold a charge
2. To calibrate the battery gauge (as recommended by Garmin)There's no place like 127.0.0.1

I'm using the supplied garmin usb cable with a Nokia Wall Charger, Output 5V / 550mA to charge my nuvi and it displays a "Charging Battery. Slide the Power key to turn on."
Will this status message change to something else? It's already been charging for 4 hours and the message is still the same.
Thanks for the help.

Hi, I hope it's ok for me to ride on this topic.
I'm an absolute newbie and I got a NUvi 750. I was trying to read the manual and can't find any information regarding the initial charging time. This wil be the first time I will charge it and I'm afraid that I may overcharge it.
What is the initial charging time and would overcharging really ruin it? thanks
sorry for hi-jacking this thread. thanks.
